We have an issue where we would like to be able to test perf counter metrics in acceptance tests, but we are unable to do so, because it will break when those same tests are run with ViewEngine. This PR adds a testing utility to `onlyInIvy` that allows for testing of performance counters, and even gives readable errors for what value on `ngDevMode` is incorrect. Has typings for decent autocompletion as well.

When we first started writing tests for Ivy, we did not yet have a
compatible compiler. For this reason, we set up the Ivy runtime tests
to run with generated code that we wrote by hand (instead of real code
generated by the compiler).
Now that we have a working Ivy compiler and TestBed infrastructure
that is compatible with Ivy, we should start writing integration
tests that leverage them (no more handwritten generated code!). This
will prevent bugs where the compiler code and runtime code become
out of sync (which is easy if they are tested separately). And
eventually, we should migrate all the existing runtime tests in
"core/test/render3" to TestBed and ngtsc.
To kick off this effort, this commit migrates some existing tests
from "core/test/render3/exports_spec.ts" and saves them in a new file
with the same name in the "core/test/acceptance" folder.
